PMI Biotech was established in December 2020 as a spin-off company from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, led by CEO Park Jeong-gyu. Located in Geoje-si, Gyeongnam, the company focuses on producing high-value calcium materials by eco-friendly recycling of discarded oyster shells.

"PMI Biotech is a company that produces natural, high-purity calcium products in line with solving social issues and carbon neutrality policies through eco-friendly oyster shell resource utilization facilities. We manufacture high-solubility, high-dispersibility, and high-purity calcium products without high-temperature heat treatment using our non-calcination pure solution process. Our main products are natural high-purity calcium citrate and calcium carbonate, used as raw materials (minerals) for health functional food supplements for anti-aging and bone health, as well as ingredients for various foods and beverages, and food additives."

Business Areas

• Eco-friendly Oyster Shell Resource Utilization: We convert discarded oyster shells into high-value calcium materials through our proprietary non-calcination pure solution process. This process minimizes environmental impact by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and wastewater generation without high-temperature heat treatment.
• High-Purity Calcium Product Manufacturing: We manufacture high-purity, high-solubility, and high-dispersibility calcium products utilized in various fields, including food additives, health functional food ingredients, and industrial calcium. We particularly produce premium calcium with low heavy metal content and high bioavailability.
• Carbon Neutrality and Resource Circulation Technology Development: We contribute to solving marine waste problems and carbon neutrality policies by practicing sustainable ESG management, including recycling process-generated carbon dioxide and using renewable energy.

Products

• Shell Calcium (Calcium from Oyster Shells): We use 100% domestic oyster shells as a natural raw material, characterized by high calcium content, bioavailability, and low heavy metal content. It is available in various forms such as powder, granules, and water-soluble calcium.
• Calcium Citrate and Calcium Carbonate: These are high-purity calcium products used as raw materials (minerals) for health functional food supplements for anti-aging and bone health, as well as ingredients for various foods and beverages, and food additives.
• Industrial Calcium and Other Minerals: We also develop and produce industrial products such as defluorinating agents for semiconductor wastewater and deodorizers for incineration and sewage treatment facilities, as well as various mineral products like magnesium and zinc.

Special Notes

• Proprietary Non-calcination Eco-friendly Process Technology: We possess a pure solution process that extracts high-purity calcium from oyster shells without high-temperature heat treatment. This technology significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions and power consumption while minimizing odor-causing substances.
• High-Quality and High-Purity Calcium Production: We produce premium calcium with over 99% purity, significantly lower heavy metal content (around 1/1000th) compared to existing products, and more than 3 times higher bioavailability. This quality exceeds USP and FCC standards.
• Global Market Competitiveness and Export Performance: We have received recognition for our technology and product quality in overseas markets, including a 5-year supply contract worth approximately 12 billion KRW with a global US distribution company. We are expanding exports to various countries such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Italy, Peru, and Thailand.

Recruitment Information

• Main Hiring Positions: We anticipate recruiting primarily for positions related to manufacturing/production, quality control, and research and development.
• Benefits: Specific welfare benefits are not confirmed as there are no current recruitment postings on platforms such as Saramin or Jobplanet.
